About
With over 17 years of diverse experience as a marine engineer, I am seeking a position as an engineer onboard a motor yacht over 60 meters. In 2006 I began my marine mechanic apprenticeship and completed in 2011. I have progressed from a qualified mobile marine engineer working across the east coast of Australia to travelling overseas to the superyacht industry. Alongside a fun and professional personality, I aim to uphold the highest standards of workmanship, safety and organization whilst exceeding owners’ expectations.

Hobbies & Interests
Growing up with an engineering background I was introduced into my hobbies at a young age. My hobbies include restorations, vehicles and performance boats. During my spare time I enjoy hands on work with Fans Creative, a company/hobby of my fathers. We custom design and build interactive art pieces with a range of mechanical engineering, from large ceiling fans to sophisticated coffee tables. All works involve machining, fabrication welding and electrical. Feel free to scan the QR code, I’m sure you will find this entertaining. I am also the owner of Fast Cats Racing. We assemble engines as well as engineer performance kits, accessories for ‘Thundercat’ race boats. Please scan the QR code to see our website! Another project I have recently completed, is converting a vintage 1957 moped from petrol to electric. Accomplishing this extensive design to now be fully road registered, including the ability to use a mobile app, for control of power and fault finding. Additionally, I enjoy staying fit and healthy by spending time in the gym and being involved with water sports, wake boarding, wake surfing, kite boarding and surfing.
